Litigation associate job in Los Angeles, CA
Civil Litigation Associate - Premium Disputes Firm
Experience: 3-6 Years Salary Range: $260,000 - $420,000 + Discretionary Bonus
Think Conventional Litigation is Dead? You're Right.
We're not your typical law firm. While others chase billable hours, we solve impossible problems. While they practice law, we practice warfare-intellectual warfare that dismantles opponents and delivers victories our clients didn't think were possible.
What We Do (And Why It Matters)
High-Stakes Disputes That Matter: When Fortune 500 companies, governments, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals face their most critical legal battles, they call us. Criminal defense, regulatory enforcement, internal investigations, complex commercial litigation, class actions, judgment enforcement, asset recovery-if it's sophisticated and the stakes are astronomical, we're there.
Global Reach, Local Impact: Our cross-border teams operate seamlessly across continents. When Latin America explodes with opportunity, when Middle Eastern markets shift overnight, when China presents new challenges-we're already there, already ahead, already winning.
